RETIRO BUS TERMINAL
Buenos Aires' modern Retiro bus terminal is 400m long, three floors high and has slots for 75 buses.
The bottom floor is for cargo shipments and luggage storage, the top for purchasing tickets, and the
middle for everything else.
There's an
information booth
( 4310-0700; 6am-midnight) that provides general bus in-
formation and schedules, plus a
tourist office
(Retiro bus station, across from bus slot 35;
7:30am-2:30pm Mon-Fri, to 4:30pm Sat & Sun) near Puente 3 on the main floor, on the same level as
bus slot 35. Other services include ATMs, lockers, telephone offices (some with internet access), res-
taurants, cafes and dozens of small stores. Various
remise
(call-taxi) booths are also available, some
open 24 hours. You can also purchase a
SUBE card
(
www.sube.gob.ar
)
and get it charged at a booth
near the southern entrance.
You can buy a ticket to practically anywhere in Argentina and departures are fairly frequent to the
most popular destinations. Reservations are not necessary except during peak summer and winter holi-
day seasons.
